Hotel colors, Scottsdale, Arizona, 2006

Red and blue are both primary colors, and this hotel has used them to draw attention to its contemporary architecture. I make use of these colors in warm morning light to enrich the image, stimulate the imagination of the viewer, and symbolize energy and modernity. I layer the image with a screen of foliage to create the illusion of depth. The powerful shadows also provide a three-dimensional thrust to the structure. The image is tied together by the glowing reflection of the red wall upon a shadowed wall just across from it, as well as by the linkage of the blue wall at the back with the lighter blue sky overhead.
